NCU Proxy Rebuttals

 

SH states …… Response

 

Why are you calling me?

< Fund Family Name > has asked us to contact you because we sent you a proxy card to register your vote for the upcoming shareholder meeting and haven’t received it back. <The Fund / The Company > would like to hear from all shareholders on this matter and we are calling to offer you the convenience of voting over the phone. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s

recommendations?

I’m not interested / I don’t want to vote / I don’t have enough

shares.

 

Every vote is important and helps bring the Fund a step closer to holding the meeting. If not enough votes are received, the shareholder meeting may have to be adjourned. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

 

I don’t know how to vote.

 

Management is recommending shareholders vote < Vote Recommended >. I’d be happy to go over the proposals and answer any questions you may have.

 

 

 

My spouse takes care of this.

 

I understand. Are you authorizing your < husband / wife / spouse > to vote on your behalf?

(If yes): Are they available to speak with me?

(If spouse is unavailable): Your vote is very important to the fund, as your wife/husband is unavailable, I would be more than happy to assist you with voting by reviewing the proposal(s). This would only take a brief moment of your time.

(If spouse is not authorized): Your vote is very important to the fund. As I am only able to take a vote from an authorized party, I would be more than happy to assist you with voting by reviewing the proposal(s). This would only take a brief moment of your time.

My broker takes care of this. I understand that your Broker may help you choose your investments, however certain proposal(s) for this proxy require a direct vote from the shareholder and cannot be voted by your Broker.  I can go over the proposal(s) quickly for you now if you wish.

 

I don’t have time right now.

 

I understand, however your vote is very important and voting now will only take a brief moment of your time. Management would like to hear from all shareholders on this matter and they have asked us to call to offer you the convenience of voting over the phone. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

 

I’ll vote later / I’ll vote via mail, online, etc.

 

I understand. The Fund has asked us to call to offer you the convenience of voting over the phone which makes the voting process much easier and faster. I would be happy to record your vote for you now and send you a printed confirmation that your vote has been recorded. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

 
 

 

I sold my shares /

I no longer own those shares.

 

I understand. However you were a shareholder as of the record date and therefore you are the only person who can vote those shares. As a courtesy to the remaining shareholders, would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

 

I’ve never received a call like this before.

 

This has become a standard in the industry and < if applicable > the proxy statement mentions that if your vote is not received you may receive a call offering you the convenience of voting by telephone. The Board is recommending shareholders vote < Vote Recommended >. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

Is there strong opposition to the Board’s recommendation?

 

I do not have that information. We are just calling because not enough votes have been received to hold the meeting so we are calling to offer the convenience of voting over the phone. Would you like to vote along with the Board’s recommendations?

 

How many votes do you still need?

 

I do not have that information. What I do know is that every vote is important at this point and that is why we are calling you and other shareholders to ask if you would like to vote along with the recommendations of your Board?

I don't accept these types of calls / Do Not Call Me /

Add Me to Your DNC

List.

 

I understand how you feel about unwanted calls and will add you to our internal Do Not Call list. However, I did want to let you know that this call is regarding your current investment in < Fund Family > and we are simply calling to advise you of the shareholder meeting and are asking if you would like to register your vote.

 

 

 

 

I already voted.

 

NO votes recorded in Proxy:

Thank you for voting. Our records indicate that your vote has not yet been updated in our system. I can record your vote for you now and send you a printed confirmation that your vote has been recorded. How would you like me to record your vote?
